INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276807 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing device described in the abstract is capable of switching between displaying a live-action image of a performer and a character image of the performer in a virtual space based on the state of at least one user or the virtual space itself.
- Control unit outputs information about an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space.
- Control unit switches display between live-action image and character image of performer based on user or virtual space state.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, virtual concerts, virtual meetings, and virtual events where users interact with performers or characters in a virtual space.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of seamlessly switching between live-action and character images of performers in a virtual space based on user interactions or the virtual space's state.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhancing user experience in virtual environments, providing more interactive and engaging content, and creating dynamic and personalized experiences for users.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual reality entertainment, virtual event hosting platforms, virtual reality training simulations, and virtual reality marketing experiences.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be systems that switch between different types of images or content based on user interactions or predefined conditions in a virtual environment.
Unanswered Questions
=== How does the control unit detect the state of the user or the virtual space to switch between live-action and character images? The abstract does not provide specific details on the methods used by the control unit to detect the state of the user or the virtual space. Further information on the sensors or algorithms employed for this purpose would be helpful.
=== What are the technical specifications of the information processing device described in the abstract? The abstract does not mention the technical specifications of the information processing device, such as processing power, memory capacity, display resolution, or connectivity options. Understanding these specifications would provide insights into the device's capabilities and potential limitations.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device includes a control unit that performs control to output information regarding an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space, in which the control unit performs control to switch a display corresponding to a performer included in the image between a live-action image generated based on a captured image of the performer and a character image corresponding to the performer, according to a result of detecting a state of at least one user in the virtual space or a state of the virtual space.
